This is the Josephine Baker dummy on sale at the Broc Troc. As most
people know, Josephine Baker was an amazing African American
entertainer, somewhat risqué for the time, who spent much of her life in
France. Take a look at her famous Banana Dance at the Folies Bergère,Paris on YouTube. She was also
famous for adopting dozens of children and in fact ended her life in
Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, when she ran out of money and was given a house
by Princess Grace of Monaco (Grace Kelly) and Prince Rainier. She is
buried in the cemetery at Monaco.
